My nitrous is in! :)

It is the Zex kit. I had it done yesterday.

My impressions.

1) it works great. Very smooth. Did not feel like it was putting too much strain on the shifting. The car ran great.

2) I realized that the brakes need improvements.

M friend who was with me had looks of fear on his face. He says as a passeger it feels almost as fast as my supercharged mustang.

I am very happy with it. I used it around 8-10 times last night. I am going to take it to the track soon and see what I can do. I will post a pic of the install later.

holy shit at that rate look to $buy$ a new motor cause your killin your sweetheart!!!!!!!!!

you have to be running at least 55 shots althougth its only a 9.166 hp increase per cylinder you could develop some strain on your motor using that many times in one night...

i suggest you take out the bottle out of your trunk before you get addicted with that shit

If I ran nitrous I'd blow the engine in one night. My foot would never leave the accelerator.

You sure?

I would think more like a 9.175 increase per cylinder.

Let me know how your tranny likes the bottle i have a nos set just sitting in my closet waiting for use. Did you use a wet system or a dry system? i have alway's used a dry system. a wet is good for big hp applications. I tell you what thats the best bang for the buck unless you abuse it.

I was just being facetious. It just seemed very odd to see the manufacturer's shot rating divided like that to get hp/cylinder to the precision of a thousandth and now to the ten-billionth of a horsepower.

No offesne intended. Was just joking around saying I thought the actual increase would be a few hundreths higher.
